My mother-in-law proceeds to rip the onesie out of her hand. She's shouting, oh, well, isn't that great?

She shouts across the restaurant for the server to bring her a box for her food that had just arrived. She knew I was paying for the meal. And so she wasn't going to leave without that food. She was leaving.

So she loads up, leaves. And that was a pivotal moment in our relationship with her where we're like, OK, maybe we're not going to do this anymore. Maybe this isn't worth all of the extra effort. And so that's when the harassment from her mom kind of started. Prior, it was more like I would come home from work. My wife would be crying and I'd be like, what happened?

Well, I just got the phone with my mom. She's mad that I haven't visited her in a day or since the weekend. In those moments, I would tell her mom like, hey, you can't call her just to make her cry and trying to be in between the two of them. which nowadays, you know, if there's ever anything with her mom, it's not something I dismiss and say, like, you deal with it on your own.

Exactly. That was all before telling her we're having a baby. And so after that, I was like, you know what? I shouldn't be the one doing that anymore because it's just another excuse for her to say that I'm holding you captive or that my family has you locked away in this tower somewhere. So this is when she proceeds to nonstop call my phone, my wife's phone, our work, my parents.

She's sending texts from random numbers. She's sending letters from zip codes that are not near us to my parents and to us with threats.

A majority of what she would send to my parents would be, how could you do this to my daughter? Like, you're keeping her from me, even though we didn't live with my parents or anything. Like, they weren't doing anything.
